Caden had his first midwife appointment from home today. She calls him the monster because he is growing at over twice the expected rate so far. Haha. Then he had to have his heel prick test which made him cry! The boob made it all better though. :)
Lilli in the meantime was bossing everyone (Mummy, Daddy, Nana and Pops) around and telling them how to play ball! Hahaha.

Caden just did his first real poo. You know, that first milk poo. Yay, good riddance to the yucky meconium.
Lilli has come up with interesting new names for her, Nana and I. She is Monkey, Nana is Elephant and I am hippo! Hahaha. We're not sure whether we should be offended or not. :)

I growled Lilli today. She shook the bassinet, pretty hard. Poor little Caden was bouncing around in there. Funny now when I look back but at the time I got very upset and when she wasn't looking I had a little cry. It wasn't as bad as it seemed but I have explained to her that she mustn't shake it again. I bet she will though. It will take her a couple of times being told to really learn.. Little monkey just wants to wake Caden. Quite sweet really.
My blood pressure has been on the rise so I had to head to the doctor. It was up again and then Cathi stopped in on her way home and it was even higher so I had to pack the kids in the car and head in to Middlemore Hospital. I was getting pretty worried and upset because I felt like the pre-eclampsia was coming on again and this time I know how dangerous it is so I think it's scarier.
They decided to keep me in for observation after tests came back normal just to make sure that nothing sinister popped up later.

After a consult with David Bailey I am going home. Yay. He talked to me about how stressful labour and delivery are on a women's body and that sometimes the body can remember previous stress and start to show symptons even though the previous stressful factor is not repeating. He likened it to Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome like soldiers who return from war or people who survive bad accidents. Anyway I am confiden that I'm not going to get sick and so is he so off we go home! :D

Caden is 1 week old!
Ha! My perfect little baby having a tiny cry. :)
Lilli joined Caden on his playgym while I was cooking dinner.
My uptown girl, with her doggy basket. Gee they start young... ;)
But she's still my gorgeous baby... Ohhh...

Caden had his 1 week check today. He has gained 230 grams so he's now 8lb 8oz. Good boy! Lilli's new phrase was 'bloody ratbag'. Hahaha.
Gotta get those 'catching flies' photos aye! Cause they are just so darn cute.
My little madam.
